A class action, class suit, or representative action is a type of lawsuit where one of the parties is a group of people who are represented collectively by a member of that group. The class action originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, but several European countries with civil law, have made changes in recent years to allow consumer organizations to bring claims on behalf of consumers.

companies can force customers to agree to binding arbitration (which is always extremely biased toward the company) instead of participating in a class action

If you've ever entered into any written agreement with any major company you've probably given up your right to litigate in favor of binding arbitration, yep.

I just assumed in America that any corporation had the right to siphon money directly out of your bank account at any given time, but only if you're already poor
